Applications of Art Coated Paper

Product Packaging

Art coated paper stickers can be used for product packaging. The familiar semi-gloss texture is used in a wide range of printed materials. The vibrant colors make it a popular choice when print color and design reproduction are more important than texture.

Food Labels

Differences Between Three Types of Coated Paper

There are three types of coated paper: art coated paper, matte coated paper, and mirror coated paper. Choosing the right material can be difficult, so here is an explanation of the characteristics and differences of each.

Art Coated Paper

Art coated paper is semi-glossy. It does not reflect light like mirror coated paper. Art coated paper is used for a wide range of applications such as printed materials, magazines, catalogs, and brochures. It is often chosen over mirror coated paper when vividness and contrast are desired.

Matte Coated Paper

Matte coated paper has a non-glossy (matte) finish. It is similar to high-quality paper but whiter than high-quality paper. The printed colors are slightly darker compared to mirror coated and art coated paper. If you are looking for a bright white paper with a unique texture similar to high-quality paper, we recommend matte coated paper.

Mirror Coated Paper

Mirror coated paper has a glossy finish. It is commonly used for colorful images and photos in printed materials and advertisements. The surface of mirror coated paper reflects light like a mirror, providing vivid colors and high contrast. It has high color reproduction, making photos and illustrations appear clear.
